I have been using comments like this for some time:
# @req $(S)_$(SS):Gate$(N)_$(DI):SubRevDlySet
# @arReq $(S)_$(SS):Gate$(N)_$(DI):SubRevDlySet 3600 Monitor
record(longout, "$(S)_$(SS):Gate$(N)_$(DI):SubRevDlySet") {
field(DESC, "Sub-Revolution Delay").....
These are super easy to pull out of the expanded db file with sed. VDCT
preserves comments with the records. With a supporting make target in
the RULES file it becomes reasonably transparent. Not elegant but
functional.
I don't maintain most of the IOCs where this PV lives so I have to do as
much as I can to help the IOC engineers if I want the timing PVs
restored.

This doesn't solve the issue with vdct remembering info data (the
ability to
do so will have to be coded into vdct; if someone needs this and is
willing
to pay for it, I'm sure CosyLab will be happy to oblige), but you can at
least put the info data into a separate file.db that just contains
entries
like these:
record(type,name) {
info(key,value)
...
}
...
It wouldn't be hard to write a tool to pull just these items out of an
existing .db file into a separate file; ask me if it would help and I'll
see
what I can do.
